Grignard reagents can react with carbonyl groups to form these compounds. Their primary type can be oxidized to aldehydes and then to carboxylic acids, but their secondary type normally terminates the process at the ketone stage. In Fischer esterification, they are reacted with carboxylic acid to form the namesake compounds. Having a general formula of C-n-H-2n-plus-1-O-H, for 10 points, identify these organic compounds in which a hydroxyl group

In Fischer esterification, they are reacted with carboxylic acid to form the namesake compounds. Having a general formula of C-n-H-2n-plus-1-O-H, for 10 points, identify these organic compounds in which a hydroxyl group is bound to a carbon atom that include methanol and ethanol.
